XL1 is “production”, but doesn’t meet the “mass produced” criteria by any stretch.
Is it wrong that I care only about the F/A-18?
Didn’t internal politics with the manufacturer also played a part? The Jaguar was a cooperative effort between BAC in the UK and Breguet in France. When Dassult took over Breguet they pushed their own design the Super Etendard ahead of the cooperative and therefore less profitable Jaguar?
They're cheap for a reason...
As much as Russia likes to have a ring of client states around them (and given historical events, it’s understandable), their increasing meddling under Putin is going to drive nations that have been traditionally neutral into the arms of Western alliances. Even if they don’t join up with NATO, I’d expect much cozier…
Tavarish should have a write up on how to buy a gently shot down SU-34 for the price of a new 5 Series pretty soon.
We own Harley Davidsons too and my first was a DynaGlide Convertible. 80,000 miles later I still own that old bike. For a cruiser it is rather nimble through twisty roads, acceleration is good for a heavy machine, it is comfortable for long trips and quick runs around town.

Piech demanded ridiculous things and didn’t care much how engineers got there. Lutz isn’t always right but he’s 100% correct here, VW is going to write off $18B+ because of Piech’s top down authoritarian culture of intimidation.
You have spoken a great, unpopular truth. Thank you, and may God have mercy on you.
The Model X - The answer to the question: What would it take to make a really neat minivan?
Yes, but that was more or less proven to be sensationalist journalism, not a fault of/massive coverup by the company. This makes the Audi deal look like a cakewalk.
Yeah I’m sorry but they did not have the ‘right’ to annex part of Ukraine. They may have pulled it off without major consequences but it was still wrong. Legally and morally.
no he isn’t, he’s just trotting back to the “they’re junk because they’re not sportbikes” well.
